Texas-Mexican Citizen Faces 8 Years In Prison And Deportation For Voter Fraud
2017-02-11
[THEGATEWAYPUNDIT] Prosecutors say the reason officials at the elections department in Dallas didn’t stop the voter fraud from happening is because Rosa Ortega claimed she was a citizen on her application.

Now the Tarrant County D.A.’s office is calling for those claims to be verified before handing out registration cards.

Her attorney said she has a learning disability and was confused about the difference between being a citizen and a legal resident, so she thought she was allowed to vote.

"The jury didn’t believe that story. They believed that the defendant knew exactly what she was doing, and they responded accordingly," Prosecutor Jonathan White said.

White told CBS11, when Ortega tried to register to vote in Tarrant County, she admitted she was not a citizen, so her application was rejected. When she told them she had already been voting in Dallas County, that’s when Sherlocks started looking into her case. Defense attorney Clark Bidsall said his client’s case has been politicized and now Ortega has a difficult road ahead even after her sentence.

#7  Real voter suppression. Undermining the value of legal votes.

#5  Voter fraud is treason, or if committed by a foreign national, an act of sabotage/espoinage as it's an attempt to illegally alter a US election and by that, essentially overthrow the will of the United States citizenry in electing the government they desire. She should be executed or ransomed back to her country like any other spy.

#2  8 years is a bit harsh, when probably everyone she knows is doing the same thing.

So let her make a deal, turn state evidence.
